A seminal collection of introductory essays by some of England's leading biblical scholars at the turn of the twentieth century. Contributions include an introductory lecture by William Sanday; Frederick Kenyon on manuscripts; F.C. Burkitt on ancient versions of the New Testament; F.H. Chase on the history of the New Testament Canon; A.C. Headlam on the dates of New Testament books; and J.H. Bernard on the historical value of the Acts of the Apostles.
The study of the Gospels may be divided here for convenience into two branches, which may be called Textual Criticism and Introduction. Under the head of "Introduction" we may group all those questions with the first appearance of a book, such as the date, place of publication, the authorship, and the sources known to or used by the author. Under the head of "Textual Criticism" comes the history of the book from the time it left the author's hands to the present day, including the study not only of accidental errors introduced by copyists, but also of the work of later editors and revisers." -- From the Introduction
Overview The early church leaders were prolific in their writing and historical documentation. While some of this work has been canonized, much has been forgotten. The Text and Studies: Contributions to Biblical and Patristic Literature collection resurrects these documents in a renewed and focused study, attempting to glean the wisdom and insight of the ancients. These volumes dig deep into apocryphal literature with critical analyses, close readings, and examinations of the original manuscripts.
This book contains the three Schweich Lectures from 1913. Burkitt believes the fundamental idea that underlines the great series of Jewish Apocalypses to be the idea of the Òimminent judgment to come. He attempts to exhibit this idea in connection with the historical setting and the ultimate cause of its manifestation. Burkitt holds that what gives rise to the Apocalypses' vitality is the great struggle between religion and civilization.

Originally published in 1897, this book contains an edition by F. Crawford Burkitt of parts of the text of Aquila's Greek version of the Old Testament discovered in leaves of a manuscript from the Cairo Geniza. In addition to the edited text of the fragments, the volume includes a preface by C. Taylor, a comparison of Aquila's translation to the Hebrew version and to the Septuagint, notes on selected passages, and facsimiles of the manuscript leaves.
